How do I enable JavaFX on NetBeans 10 / JDK11

Question

All my attempts to find out how to set up JavaFX on NetBeans have got bogged down with instructions for older versions that don't seem to work now. If I do file | new project | JavaFX Applicationm I get the message:

Failed to automatically set-up a JavaFX Platform. 
Please go to Platform Manager, create a non- 
default Java SE platform, then go to the JavaFX tab, 
enable JavaFX and fill in the paths to valid JavaFX SDK and JavaFX Runtime. 
Note: JavaFX SDK can be downloaded from JavaFX website.

But if I go to Platform Manager and create a non-default Java SE platform, there is no JavaFX tab.

Are there any up-to-date instructions anywhere?

I would suggest this , This is an updating docs about using JavaFX with Netbeans with JDK 11 . You can also find how to integrate java with other IDE like IntelliJ and Eclipse : https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/

Thanks, that gets me partway. But when it says "Warning: Don't try to create a JavaFX project. The JavaFX ant tasks of the current Apache NetBeans version are not ready for JavaFX 11 yet. You can try to switch the Java project to a JavaFX project instead, from Properties -> Build -> Deployment -> Switch Project to JavaFX Deployment Model" I can't find any such option. And when although my FX code now compiles, build fails with "JavaFX deployment library not found in active JDK." – digitig Mar 21 '19 at 20:09

You should expand your answer by directly including those directions. The link has already been updated to JavaFX12 will likely continue to change with new releases. – LucasBoatwright Jun 26 '19 at 13:50
